A
COUNTY AUDITOR LASH
Back in December in aiv address before members of Lake Grange and
the public in Uniontown, County
Auditor Lester Lash said he would do
"Everything in my power to make the
new tax law rest lightly on the shoulders of the people," and he has made
good on his word, as everyone who
knows him felt he would do.
Auditor Lash realizes that he cannot play any favorites, and he has no
desire to do so, but being full of the
milk of human kindness and" having
what is called "a heart" as well as a
brain, he has conducted his office to
win tlie warm approval of all right-
minded people.
The New Tax Law
• When the new tax law became a
law everyone was "up in the air," including lawyers, County Auditors and
members of the State Tax Commission. Mr. Lash gave the subject ser-
iouB study, and he reached the conclusion that it would be wise policy
to, give the people as much leeway as
possible so that when they did file
.their returns they would understand
what they were doing.
"The Lash Plan"
"The Lash Plan," us il is called,
soon became popular in many counties, ami it wasn't long before the officials in Columbus began to realize
that County Auditors would be doing
the people a service by waiving the
penalty and giving them an additional
three weeks to make out the forms
provided by the state.
In doing- this the Stale Commission explained that "It had no authority to order an extension, but advised Auditors to ignore the penalty
provisions."
In his own quiet, efficient manner,
County Auditor Lester Lash selves
the public as a faithful servant. Some
of his critics, actuated solely for political reasons or to serve their own
selfish interests, overlook such little
courtesies as getting; an extension until April 20, but intelligent people
don't. They appreciate what Mr. Lash
is doing to lighten their burden.
No Penalty Before April 20
Returns will be received at his office without penalty until April 20.
And keep in mind that if you have
any difficulty in making out your report there will be some one in Auditor Lash's office glad of the opportunity to help you and that the service will be free.

MILD-MANNERED gentleman i.s
Charles Kumpf, but once aroused
he goes the limit. He knows that
Maurice Maschke, the boss of Cleveland's unscrupulous political machine,
wants to dominate the state of Ohio
and that he is backing a young fellow
named David S. Ingalls of Cleveland,
Cincinnati and Washington.
Young Ingalls is in no way an acceptable candidate in the eyes of Republicans opposed to machine politics,
but he has barrels of money, belongs
to the "spending 'set" in Cincinnati
and is a real Rah-Rah Boy when it
.comes to telling "funny stories." As
Governor of Ohio he would prove a

CANDALS never grow lo mammoth
proportions unless public apathy-
is one of the invisible conspirators. As long as citizens are indifferent or cynical about public affairs they will gel the government
they deserve. If reforms are attempted, thev are but temporary affairs.
An aroused public spirit, ashamed of
the apathy which has bred corruption,
can make a clean-up more; effective
and one which will last longer.
Maurice Maschke must go! People
in Stark and Summit counties owe it
to themselves to repudiate at the
polls anyone wearing the Maschke
label. Republicans want a four-square
business administration in Columbus,
but they are not going to get it if
Maschke is the Boss of Ohio.

In
The Young Woman's Missionary society of The Community Christian

church, and will present Mrs. Hanson,
who spent forty years in India. She
will discuss many phases of "Life In
India" during her talk and every one
interested i.s cordially invited to attend this meeting and hear the interesting talk from one who has taken
time and thought to study her subject.
Special to The Sun
Cleveland, April 0—Secretary o
State Clarence J. Brown, candidate
' for the Republican nominatio
; Governor of Ohio .in May 10th
i maries, has, launched his battle in
I Cuyahoga county against Maurice
i Maschke, Republican boss of Cleve-
I land and backer of David S. Ingalls,
; who is reported to have been drafted
: by Maschke when the Boss decided to
end Brown's political aspirations.
Wants Open Battle
Brown is taking the fight to
Maschke's corner and trying to force
for wallop. But
wants none of
Brown's style. He prefers the tactics
of the Indian ami with a powerful
political machine behind him he expects to knife the stalwart Secretary
of State at -the primaries.
Brown, however, is not afraid of
Maschke;'in fact, he insists on a fight,
because he is opposed to all that j
Maschke stands for, and he is deter-;
mined to force the Boss, if possible,]
to "mix it up" with him. ;
Feud Started In 1928
The feud between Brown and,
Maschke dates back to LSI28 when
Brown, as Secretary of State ousted
the entire personnel of the Board of
elections here on
the Grand .liny.
was A. J. 1-lirstius, now executive secretary of the Republican Executive
Committee here.
Brown forces have established headquarters in the Standard Bank Building, Cleveland. Judging from the results of' preliminary canvasses political prophets already predict Brown
will cut into the strength of the
Maschke organization sufficiently to
carry the county. Ingalls is the only
other candidate so far to make an
open bid for Republican support here.
A number of ward leaders and the
heads of Republican clubs have al- j
ready signified thev will bolt from the]
organization to support Brown in i
Cleveland. The entire Republican or-!
ganization of East Cleveland, Cleve-1
land's major suburb, is for Brown. ,

tary Brown's platform for improved
roads in Ohio.

' for the Republican nominatio
; Governor of Ohio .in May 10th
i maries, has, launched his battle in
I Cuyahoga county against Maurice
i Maschke, Republican boss of Cleve-
I land and backer of David S. Ingalls,
; who is reported to have been drafted
: by Maschke when the Boss decided to
end Brown's political aspirations.
Wants Open Battle
Brown is taking the fight to
Maschke's corner and trying to force
for wallop. But
wants none of
Brown's style. He prefers the tactics
of the Indian ami with a powerful
political machine behind him he expects to knife the stalwart Secretary
of State at -the primaries.
Brown, however, is not afraid of
Maschke;'in fact, he insists on a fight,
because he is opposed to all that j
Maschke stands for, and he is deter-;
mined to force the Boss, if possible,]
to "mix it up" with him. ;
Feud Started In 1928
The feud between Brown and,
Maschke dates back to LSI28 when
Brown, as Secretary of State ousted
the entire personnel of the Board of
elections here on
the Grand .liny.
was A. J. 1-lirstius, now executive secretary of the Republican Executive
Committee here.
Brown forces have established headquarters in the Standard Bank Building, Cleveland. Judging from the results of' preliminary canvasses political prophets already predict Brown
will cut into the strength of the
Maschke organization sufficiently to
carry the county. Ingalls is the only
other candidate so far to make an
open bid for Republican support here.
A number of ward leaders and the
heads of Republican clubs have al- j
ready signified thev will bolt from the]
organization to support Brown in i
Cleveland. The entire Republican or-!
ganization of East Cleveland, Cleve-1
land's major suburb, is for Brown. ,
